Undergraduate Costs Per Year

These numbers are based on a 30-credit academic year (fall and spring semesters, 2018-19).
Taking 15 credits per semester (30 per year) allows students to graduate in four years.

Tuition and fees are based on 15 credits per semester. Room and Board is based on
the 19-meals-per-week plan and the Tier Two housing plan. For Colorado resident students,
the price after the College Opportunity Fund (COF) is applied to the student’s bill.

What is the College Opportunity Fund (COF)?

The College Opportunity Fund is a state-funded program that provides a stipend for
Colorado resident students going to college in-state. To receive the stipend, you'll need to apply for and authorize use of the stipend at UNC. Learn more about COF here.
